Term Six
This term our Big Question is 'what if there wasn't any colour left?'
This week has been a busy one with our class trip to Marwell Zoo and our school sports day. We had lots of fun running in the different races and we enjoyed cheering on our friends in their races too. We have also enjoyed our rainbow activities during learning through play.
On Tuesday we had our class trip to Marwell Zoo. It was a rather soggy day, but it didn't stop us having a wonderful time seeing all of the animals-the snow leopard was our favourite. We also enjoyed a workshop all about the animals of the rainforest and the foods they eat.
This week we were shocked to enter our classroom to find rubbish everywhere! After tidying it up we discussed the importance of putting rubbish in the bin and looking after our planet. We designed our own recycling superheroes and thought of the special powers they could have. We also enjoyed a Faraway Friday trip to France, where we learnt some French words, found out about famous landmarks and ate some French food.
This week we have had lots of fun thinking about what makes us special and having our Elmer Day Celebration. We went on a colour hunt, played party games and ate party food. We have also been making words out of megablocks, creating cards for our friends and making playdough Elmers.
This week we were shocked to find colourful footprints all over the classroom! After receiving a message we found out Elmer the elephant had created them. We have also enjoyed making animals masks, playing in the jungle small world and creating rainbows.
This week we have continued to look at the book The Rainbow Fish. We have created story maps to help retell the story, made Rainbow Fish biscuits and explored a real fish! We have also had lots of fun whilst learning through play.
This week we received a mysterious letter that contained clues that we had to follow. The clues led to a book called The Rainbow Fish. We enjoyed listening to the story and thinking about what makes a good friend. We have also had fun taking part in our Rainbow activities.
Term Five
This term our Big Question is 'what if we shrank to the size of an ant?'
Crazy Creatures
We were fascinated when Crazy Creatures came to visit with a selection of creatures from around the world. We learnt about giant millipedes, cockroaches, blue tongued skinks, turtles, tarantulas and got very excited when Ian brought a snake out for us to see, too!
Ugly Bug Ball
This week, the children were invited by Queen Bee to an official Ugly Bug Ball. We wrote back to her, in our neatest handwriting, telling her how excited we were to come. We designed masks for our costumes, decorated our classroom and also created a set of rules for all of the bugs to follow to be safe at the ball. Obviously, we loved having a feast at the banquet to celebrate the wonderful Queen Bee. We also have had great fun completing our rainbow activities, too.
